US President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social appearing to depict himself as Jesus Christ, shortly after his criticism of Pope Leo XIV. This is not "satire". This is not "harmless". This is the normalization of blasphemy dressed as power. Donald Trump portraying himself as Jesus Christ is not bold move by "an idiot"... it is a test: how far can deception and blasphemy go before believers push back? If you are a monotheist and especially a Christian and this doesn't shake you, then what will?

In occupied Al-Quds, Easter never passes without worshippers facing harassment and repression at the hands of Zionist occupation forces. Do "Christians" in the west Know this is how Israel treats the Chtistian natives of Palestine? Yes..yes they so...they just don't care. ككل عام، لا يمرّ عيد الفصح في القدس المحتلّة دون أن يقابله تنكيل ممنهج من جيش الاحتلال بحقّ المصلّين.

💔The blessed Lebanese-Armenian martyr, Adam Krikor Hekmian, one of the martyrs of the resistance, who was martyred in defense of Lebanon and its people. Adam did not fall as just one man, but as part of a nation whose people, across every background, stand united in sacrifice. His Armenian roots and Lebanese belonging meet in one truth: that this land is defended by all its children. Lebanese blood does not divide; it blends into one story of pride, dignity, and resistance. And today, Adam's blood is forever part of that story.

What you see destroyed before you is an ancient synagogue known as the "Rabbi Nia Synagogue." Inside it was a library that housed ancient Torah scrolls, now buried forever beneath the rubble. The man with his back turned in the image is Rabbi Younes Hamami Lalehzar, inspecting the devastation that has reduced the synagogue to ruins, following a brutal act of aggression by a hostile, religious entity; one rejected by all its neighbors, concerned with nothing but preserving its own regime at the expense of everyone. But before you rush to judgment, there's something important you should know: This destroyed synagogue is not in occupied land of Palestine. It stands in the heart of Tehran. Yes... this synagogue is located in Iran's capital, and it was struck in a recent air raid carried out by those bearing the blue star. As for Rabbi Younes, he is a recognized community figure representing the Jewish population of Iran, a community that has lived in Persia for over 2,500 years. They have official representation in the Islamic Consultative Assembly and have publicly declared their full support for the Iranian state, rejecting Western aggression. This is a significant community, numbering over 15,000 people, and an acknowledged part of Iran's social fabric; one that does not recognize the Israeli entity. So now you understand who the "brutal aggressor" truly is.

🚨BREAKING: Tasnim News Agency: The Iranian–American negotiations in Islamabad have concluded without reaching an agreement. Tasnim News Agency: The failure to secure a deal is attributed to excessive U.S. demands. U.S. Vice President JD Vance: The Pakistani delegation has made commendable efforts to bridge the gaps between the parties. Vance: We negotiated for several hours but have yet to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. Vance: We are returning to Washington without a deal with the Iranians.

According to available information: The atmosphere surrounding the negotiations remains negative, largely due to the United States retracting from key points it had initially agreed would form the foundation of the talks. The Iranian delegation was unequivocal during consultations, stressing that a failure in negotiations would leave Tehran with little choice but to return to war. Responsibility for such an outcome would rest with Netanyahu, who continues to reject a ceasefire in Lebanon, and Trump, who insists on reopening the Strait of Hormuz before Washington fully commits to ceasefire terms. Consultations are ongoing for now, with Iran’s final position expected to be announced from Tehran upon the delegation’s return.

U.S. officials declined to receive Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, despite an official visit having already been scheduled. Salam later suggested the cancellation was due to internal Lebanese scheduling issues, but that explanation does not hold up under scrutiny. The key question, then, is why Washington reversed its decision. It is unlikely to be a matter of timing, if scheduling were the issue, the meeting would not have been arranged in the first place. A more plausible reading is that the cancellation is linked to ongoing discussions taking place in Pakistan, where the Lebanon file is reportedly under active consideration. In that context, any unilateral or escalatory move by Salam, particularly one that diverges from the emerging framework of those discussions or disrupts Lebanon's internal political balance, could risk further destabilization. Recent developments on the ground, including tensions seen in the streets over the past two days, may reinforce those concerns. From this perspective, Washington's decision appears to be a calculated step aimed at maintaining alignment with a broader diplomatic track. It is also worth noting that Hezbollah and the Amal Movement's decision to scale back planned demonstrations seems consistent with this broader effort to avoid escalation at a sensitive moment.

🚨BREAKING The Wali al-Faqih, Sayyed Mojtaba Ali Khamenei, has issued a firm and unequivocal rejection of any proposal to separate Lebanon from Iran within the framework of ongoing negotiations with the American side. The Iranian negotiating team currently in Pakistan has likewise categorically refused any attempt to detach the Lebanese front, warning that such a move would lead to the complete collapse of the agreement. Across Iran, public sentiment has aligned with this stance, with widespread rejection of any separation of Lebanon from Iran, and a clear declaration that such a proposal would effectively bring the negotiations to an end.

This Lebanese child whom God miraculously saved from the airstrike in the Hayy al-Salam area, the poorest area in the capital Beirut as a result of the April 8 massacre. The boy was trapped under the rubble at a depth of about half a meter, buried in stones, shattered glass, and debris. My precious little one ❤️ He woke up alone in a world where he has lost every single member of his family because of Israeli terrorism using U.S -made bombs on civilian victims.

"I cannot begin to describe what I saw. I have spent years in this line of work, taken part in countless rescue and emergency operations, but what I witnessed today at the State Security center is beyond words. Severed legs, arms scattered in every direction. I lifted a decapitated head that was still letting out faint sounds. Blood flowed like water. Not a single body we recovered was whole. I do not know how I will sleep tonight. I am utterly shaken… I have been crying ever since." —Testimony of a paramedic who took part in recovering the bodies of State Security personnel in Nabatieh following the brutal massacre carried out by Israeli occupation forces. And yet, Nawaf Salam the sleaze says: "There is no strike without a reason."

My name is Jawad Ali Ahmad. I am Lebanese. I have remained beneath the rubble since the eighth of April, not because reaching me is impossible, but because no one has deemed me a priority. I am from Hayy al-Sellom, one of the impoverished belts surrounding Beirut. I have become a deferred number on a list of victims. My mother is still waiting for me, answering those who come to offer condolences in a broken voice: "Wait… I have not buried him yet." In a land shaped by death at the hands of Zionist terrorists, even survival has its hierarchies and so does dying. Some are pulled out in haste, while others are left, their pain cooling beneath the stones. In forgotten cities, people do not die only once. They die twice: once when the sky collapses upon them, and again when humanity arrives too late.

Once again, on an Israeli political TV show, what we in Lebanon have long known، but what was once spoken only behind closed doors, is now stated openly: “We are pushing the Lebanese state toward a civil war with Hezbollah. That may not be such a bad outcome for us.” The response comes without hesitation: “Yes, that has been the plan.” With striking clarity, this is an admission that the Zionist war on Lebanon was never merely a military confrontation. It has, from the outset, been a calculated strategy to ignite internal strife, after failing to disarm Hezbollah's resistance by force. In this context, the conduct of Nawaf Salam and Joseph Aoun can no longer be dismissed as political misjudgment. It rises to the level of overt alignment with a project aimed at fragmenting Lebanon from within. That is treachery. Accordingly, a broad segment of the Lebanese public now declares, unequivocally, a withdrawal of confidence in both of you, politically and morally. Not only because of the profound moral failure of stepping over the blood of Lebanese civilians, many still buried beneath rubble or listed among the missing as a result of US-made weapons deployed by the Israeli enemy, while rushing to Washington in displays of shameful dependency that undermine national dignity; but also because you have positioned yourselves as instruments in a broader design to manufacture civil conflict in Lebanon. The farcical push for "direct negotiations" with Israel, while the south remains under fire, represents a grave collapse in any claim to sovereignty or national responsibility. So hear this clearly: gather what remains of your political standing and step aside. You are fired! Your mandate has expired. Leave now with whatever measure of self-respect remains, or the people, the true stakeholders in this nation, will ensure your removal from any role that shapes its future. And regardless of your calculations, or those of any external actors betting on breaking the will of this country, Lebanon's dignity is not negotiable. Its choices will not be imposed upon it. An end to aggression, and the terms that follow, will be determined by those who have remained steadfast while displaced, those resostance heroes on the battlefield in south Lebanon and Iran's finest at the negotiating table in Islamabad. As for you, history will decide where you belong.
